Brennan and Sylvia have lived through the same four instances, four days, for an indescribable amount of time. In a house with strange rules, disappearing text, and an infallible routing that might not be so infallible after all, they must learn to adapt and overcome the strange occurrences that prevent them from escaping. From the shifting walls to the sudden appearance of two strangers to the unnerving sense of fear that nips at their heels, unraveling the mysteries of the happenings may be a bit difficult and hard to face.

Concerning Death
At home we are safe. At home, nothing can hurt us. But home no longer exists; it belongs to a different world. Home is now a roof and four walls. Home is a trap where you sit waiting for the killer. Home has abandoned you, betrayed you. It is where people die. Where people go after a long day at work, and where people are found dead and mutilated. Home is murderous, violent, and unregretting. It is sick, it is inhumane, but it is life, and it is all we have. Concerning Death is an exploration of death in all its aspects: knowing you are about to die, watching someone else die, dealing with grief, and murder. All of this in a thriller setting where a serial killer haunts New York and manipulates the FBI as if they were pieces on a chessboard. Join Nicaa as she must find the strength to survive, or face the alternative.Complete

the backrooms: story 2
⚠️this is a weirdcore/dreamcore type story, so please read with caution if it may cause you to dissociate!!⚠️ A young girl and her little sister have glitched out of reality, and are now in a liminal place. The girl has been here before, and is determined to get herself and her sister out of this place. However, when she runs into old friends, she finds out that she is one of very few humans who has successfully glitched here twice (let alone by accident). Now she needs to find out if 'home' is the place she grew up in, or if she really does belong here. She needs to make some tough choices. Stay here forever and send her little sister out on her own, or leave and risk injury, even death, if she gets taken through the backrooms for a third time after arriving back 'home' to reality. Please also note that I have not created the back rooms, and a lot of the settings I have described are inspired by pictures I've seen on pinterest!Complete
